To the members of the SEC,

I support the proposals presented in Safeguarding Advisory Client
Assets (File No. S7-04-23).

I applaud the current administration for safeguarding the assets of
household investors from the backroom shenanigans of advisors looking
to maximize their own profit at their client’s expense. The
segregation of client assets along with the strengthened qualified
custodial requirements and advisor bookkeeping requirements should
improve the visibility and security of the investor’s assets and
make the actions of bad actors more apparent.
